This summer saw Yorkshire enjoy its biggest heatwave in years and summer is now returning to give us one last blast this week.

Yorkshire is set to experience some unseasonably warm weather this week, as temperatures begin to climb.

Today and tomorrow will see temperatures begin to increase, with some areas of Yorkshire basking in unseasonably warm weather by Thursday.

Tuesday and Wednesday will generally see temperatures of 16/17C around the region, before Thursday reaches a peak temperature of around 19C, which will be as warm as global hotspot Madrid.

Yorkshire will then stay warm for the time of year for the rest of the week, with temperatures easing off slightly to around 17C on Friday, but returning to 19/20C by Saturday.

Leeds and Sheffield will see temperatures of around 16C today, which will climb to 19C by Thursday, with Hull reaching 20C by Thursday.

There will be a mixture of cloud, sunny spells and some rain in Yorkshire this week, but temperatures will still be warmer than usual, seeing a considerable rise from last week.

Looking ahead, there is an increasing chance that the weather towards the end of October will turn more settled as high pressure re-establishes, according to the Met Office. This would bring lighter winds and some sunshine by day but cold nights with frost and fog.

As the UK heads towards the start of November, confidence is lower but there are signs it may turn more changeable again.

Temperatures will probably be close to normal overall, but in more settled weather it is likely to be colder than average, especially overnight.
